Gout is caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood that lead to painful inflammation in joints. It occurs when uric acid crystals deposit in joints, especially those in the big toe. Risk factors include diet high in purines, obesity, kidney disease, genetics, and certain medications. Symptoms range from joint pain and swelling to tophi formation and arthritis. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like diet modification and medication to reduce uric acid levels and relieve pain.
Cirrhosis is a late stage of scarring (fibrosis) of the liver caused by many forms of liver diseases and conditions, such as hepatitis and chronic alcoholism.
This is a short presentation on gout and gouty arthritis. This also gives a brief idea about the causes of gout, its clinical features and investigations. This also provides basic information regarding management and prevention of gout and its associated complications

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease. It causes irritation, inflammation, and ulcers in the lining of your large intestine (also called your colon). There's no cure, and people usually have symptoms off and on for life
Gout is an inflammatory condition of the arthritis-type that results from deposition of monosodium urate crystals in joint spaces or surrounding tissues, leading to an inflammatory reaction that causes intense pain, erythema, and joint swelling.
It is associated with hyperuricemia, defined as a Serum Uric Acid (SUA) level of 6.8 mg/dL (404 μmol/L) or greater, but not all patients with hyperuricemia demonstrate symptoms.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
4. DEFINITION
• Acute sudden inflammation of the joint
caused by high level of uric acid
concentration in the blood leading to the
development of tophi( Tophus)
5. High level of uric acid concentration in the
blood------Hyperuricemia
Normal Uric acid levels are 2.4-6.0 mg/dL
(female) and 3.4-7.0 mg/dL (male).
Blood uric acid level rises above 7 mg/dL.--
--Gout
Uric acid deposition called tophi ( Tophus)
6. Uric acid deposition called tophi ( Tophus)
Podagra--gout of the foot, especially the big toe.
Podagra ---‘foot trap’, is gout which affects the
joint located between the foot and the big toe,
known as the metatarsophalangeal joint
15. Abnormal metabolic process in the
body
Increase in uric acid in the blood ,
decrease in excretion of uric acid
Uric acid react with sodium in the
blood to form sodium crystals
Uric acid crystals Deposited in the
joints--Tophus
16. Activate inflammatory response, and release
of inflammatory mediators and free radicles
Free radicle damages the tissues
Release of proteolytic and Lysosome
enzymes
Leads to further Damages to the tissues
causing edema, redness and pain
19. Acute stage
• Severe and sudden onset
• Only one or two joints will be involved
• Symptoms will appear usually at the night time
• Joints will be warm, red, oedematous, pain and
tender
• increase in uric acid level (8-12mg/dl)
20. Intermediate stage
• Symptoms will worsen over an extended time
• Joints will be warm, red, oedematous, pain and
tender
• Severe Pain
• Increased accumulation of uric acid crystals
• Uric acid level : 12-15mg/dl
21. Chronic
stage
• Continuous and persistent pain
• Decrease in the mobility of joints
• Increase in redness and edema
• Difficulty to treat with medicine
• Uric acid level: >15 mg/dl
23. DIAGNOSTIC
• History and physical examination
• Family history of gout
• Blood test-
–Elevated serum uric acid levels
• Urine test-
–Elevated 24-hr urine for uric acid levels
• X-ray
–Presence of sodium urate crystals in
synovial fluid
24.
25. Management
DRUG THERAPY
1. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
–Ibuprofen –400mg
2. Corticosteroids
– (prednisone)—1-2mg/kg
3. Probenecid—500mg
–increases uric acid excretion in the urine
26. 4. Allopurinol ---300mg
is a purine analog
–decreases uric acid formation and may also
inhibit purine synthesis.
5. colchicine --500mcg
–interrupts urate crystal deposition in joint
tissues.
28. Foods to be avoided
Following foods should be avoided:
• Alcohol
• Red meat and organ meat such as liver or kidneys
• Seafood
• Certain vegetables[peas, beans, cauliflower]
• Caffeine
• Sugary drinks and foods high in fructose
• Processed foods and refined carbohydrates
29. NURSING MANAGEMENT:
GOUT
• Supportive care of the inflammed joints.
• Pain Management with NSAIDS
• Avoiding weight bearing exercises
• Limiting exercises during acute stages
• Dietary management to limit uric acid in blood
• Prevention of infection during steroid therapy
• Local heat application to the joint
30. Health education
• The nurse should explain
– gout is a chronic problem that can be controlled
with careful adherence to a treatment program.
– Thorough explanations regarding importance of
drug therapy and the need for periodic
determination of serum uric acid levels.
• -reducing/ eliminating the risk factors
31. • Aware of the dietary restriction
• Prevention of infections
• Assistance while moving
• Home management of pain with
analgesia and local heat applications
